18. May 2006
Even the unhappiest of situations can be turned around when the husband and wife are willing to put forth the effort to discover the problem and work on it. For some crazy reason some spouses think they will be happier with a new partner. The divorce rate for second and third marriages far exceeds that of first marriages. Why is that? Because the same pattern is repeated, and they keep looking for the "ideal" husband or wife to magically turn up next time around.

29. April 2006
Have you ever wanted something and your spouse thinks it's out of the question or nonsense? Does he or she say, "You know that's not possible. Get that idea out of your head." or "We can't afford it!" or "That's the last thing on earth I want to do."

In fact, comments like these work much like a handle on a water faucet -- they are a big communication turn-off.
